In the 18th session, the two heroes led the team to be the top two in the Western Conference! Doncic averaged 34+8+9 per game, which is still insufficient compared to Alexander.

On November 24, after today's game, the ranking of the Western Conference has changed. After the Lakers won, they relied on the advantage of being first in the conference to reach second place in the Western Conference, while the Thunder are still ranked first in the Western Conference. The Thunder are now 17 wins and 1 loss and are still first in the league. They are four games ahead of the second Lakers and third Nuggets. Although Jay Wei has not come back, the Thunder gives people the feeling: Are you here to compete for second place?

The Thunder have an obvious advantage compared to other teams. If they want to, the Thunder are definitely capable of winning 70+ games in a single season this season. They may feel it is not necessary. If they continue like this, maybe by 70 games in the regular season, the league's first position will no longer be in suspense. At that time, they may choose to rest their core and focus more on the playoffs to try to defend the title. The success of the Thunder and Lakers this season is inseparable from the 18th class duo of Alexander and Doncic.

In the past 18 years, the two heroes were Trae Young and Doncic, but now Trae Young obviously cannot enter this discussion. Alexander and Doncic are both MVP candidates. You are an All-Star, so don't try to mess with it. Now, who of the two in the 18th class is stronger has always been a topic that everyone likes to discuss. Although Alexander won the MVP and Finals MVP, there are still many fans who think Doncic is stronger.

In terms of offense, I think Doncic is stronger. Doncic's offensive skills are more comprehensive. Not only does he have the mid-range that Alexander is good at, but his inside kills are no better than Alexander's breakthrough and attack inside. The key to the injury difference is that Doncic is more accurate in three-pointers, and the free throws that Alexander is proud of are not as many as Doncic this season. Doncic ranks first in the league with 12.3 free throws per game this season. Although Alexander averages 9.3 per game, it is not a lot, but it also depends on who he is comparing with.

Doncic's body is more dominant, so Doncic is even better in singles. This season, Doncic averaged 34.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2 steals per game, ranking first in the league in points per game. Although Alexander is also good, averaging 32.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game, ranking third in the league in points per game. Then there is Doncic's better passing ability. Doncic is one of the best organizers in the league. He can be said to be one of the players who creates the most offensive opportunities in the league.

If you consider the defense, Alexander will be stronger. Although Alexander has a gap in confrontation, he is physically strong and more active and aggressive on the defensive end. Maybe you don't know that Alexander has averaged more than 2.6 steals + blocks per game in the past three seasons. Doncic cannot compare with this. For Doncic, in many cases, if the opponent hits him, he can just come back on the offensive end, instead of using defense to suppress the opponent.

Although Doncic's defensive attitude has improved this season, and he can also help the team on the defensive end with his golf intelligence, there is still a gap compared to Alexander. First of all, Alexander's golf intelligence is also very high. Secondly, Alexander is faster and he is good at lateral movement, which Doncic does not have. Many times when Doncic faces extremely fast opponents, he cannot keep up, and the opponent can pass him in one step. This is due to talent.

Taken together, it is not clear who is stronger. After all, they each have their own advantages, but if the other two aspects are considered, then Doncic is obviously not as good as Alexander. One aspect is the attitude of the game. Everyone knows that Doncic is a player who has been a proud player since he was a child. He can easily do things that are difficult for others to do. He is loved by thousands of people. Therefore, often if he does not receive care from the referee, he will be unhappy and go to the referee to complain.

Because he often complains to the referee and misses the defense, the result is that your opponent will get an easy shot. When he sees that the opponent scores again, his mentality explodes again. Moreover, Doncic sometimes plays alone, is not rational enough, and likes to get into corners. This problem is also caused by his mentality. Because of his instability, the team also has more unstable factors, so his team has never been as stable as Alexander's team.

Alexander has always had a paralyzed face. Whether the referee blew the whistle unfairly or the team was lagging behind by a big score, he was able to stay calm and play the most reasonable basketball. This is something Doncic does not possess. Then there is the leadership temperament. In fact, the mentality will also affect the team's performance. The reason why the Mavericks chose to send Doncic away was because he had attitude problems and was not considered an excellent leader.

Looking back at the Thunder, the team plays the same whether they are leading or lagging behind by a big score. They will not let up when they are leading by a big score, and they will fight back steadily when they are behind by a big score. This is the style of a strong team. Embiid's singles ability is no worse than Jokic's, but his team-leading ability is much worse. To be honest, scoring does not mean everything in basketball. Having said that, what do you want to say about Doncic and Alexander now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
